That'll be at the old Canada Car plant in T-Bay that is years behind delivering new street cars to Toronto.

Light rail transit is slipping out of popularity, right now ... not manly enough, maybe .... too green .... too PROOOOG.

John McCallum just can't seem to stay out of the headlines. Seems that despite being fired as ambassador to China for his incompetence and shooting his mouth off, he has now taken it upon himself to try and persuade China to be nice to Trudeau to help get him re-elected because he will be nicer to China than a Conservative Government. Can this guy possibly be more clueless??

It would be interesting to know if our moronic leader had anything to do with this embarrassing and pathetic display of grovelling to China in an effort to beg their assistance in keeping him in power. It definitely sends a clear message to China, and confirms that Trudeau has absolutely zero interest whatsoever in doing anything to trying to solve the trade war they have waged against Canada or getting our people out of custody who are being detained.


McCallum - Beijing should avoid punishing Canada over Huawei case

Canada’s former ambassador to China, sacked because of remarks he made in the wake of Huawei’s high-profile extradition case, said he has warned former contacts at China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs that any further “punishments” imposed on Canada’s exports could lead to a change of government that is unfavourable to Beijing.

“Anything that is more negative against Canada will help the Conservatives, [who] are much less friendly to China than the Liberals,” John McCallum, a veteran Liberal Party member, told the South China Morning Post in an interview in Hong Kong on Monday.

This is exactly why I come here: I had no idea we were in a trade war with China.

Where else can you get these news scoops?

Here is an article illustrating how LIE-beral hug a thug judges are PRETENDING to get more serious about crime- without actually taking any real action!!



With some comments of my own in brackets):

Sentence for $41M Revenue Canada fraud upped to three years

From Canadian Press.

Published: August 7, 2019. Updated: August 7, 2019 3:23 PM EDT

Filed Under: Toronto SUN/ News/ Toronto & GTA

A man who almost defrauded Revenue Canada of more than $40 million had his prison sentence increased on Wednesday but won’t have to serve any more time.

In a written ruling, the Ontario Court of Appeal said the 18-month term handed to Kevin Plange was far too little for the crime and upped it to three years.

(Isnt that a neat trick- one hug a thug judge hands down a slap on the wrist and another one alters it!! And LIE-berals are getting sensitive to public anger about LIE-beral SOFT ON CRIME style - so another LIE-beral hands out a tougher sentence - that will NOT HAVE TO BE SERVED!! Gosh!! That will teach the fraud artist not to mess with us!!!!!)

“The sentence imposed by the trial judge was demonstrably unfit when compared to other large-scale frauds,” the Appeal Court said. “The sentencing judge understated the moral blameworthiness of the respondent.”

(LIE-berals believe in personal responsibility in al things- just so long as it does not cost LIE-berals any votes or any gravy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

At the same time, the higher court decided that Plange, who has already served the initial sentence, needn’t return to prison. Plange’s rehabilitation, the court said, showed he did not require going back to jail.

(Yes- that LIE-beral revolving door prison policy coupled with catch and release is doing a fine job of discouraging crime in Canada so LIE-berals insist!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

(Its too bad that LIE-berals DO NOT want to talk about the 3 goofs who stole $14 million by FRAUD!! Or the lone guy who got $30 million by FRAUD!! And LIE-berals are SO STINGY with the grvy that they RELEASED ALL FOUR FRAUD ARTISTS because LIE-berals could not give them trials in a “reasonable time period!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

(And LIE-berals CERTAINLY WILL NOT wish to discuss the SEVEN ACCUSED KILLERS who were released in 2017 for the same inability to prosecute in a reasonable time period!! LIE-berals have responded to the public outrage by making sure that killers now do get more speedy trial dates - that are then swiftly put off till later - LIE-berals re STILL dragging their feet but giving the ILLUSION that trials are being speeded up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

(And of course LIE-berals WILL NOT want to discuss the other criminals that are being released in their sham system- meaning various drunk drivers and people accused of assault and burglary are now being released without by our overloaded legal system instead since LIE-berals deem these people to be a LESSER THREAT to the public than cold blooded killers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Separately, the Appeal Court upheld the validity of the mandatory minimum two-year sentence for fraud over $1 million, saying Plange’s trial judge had engaged in an unacceptable hypothetical exercise in striking down the provision as unconstitutional.

Court records show Plange, a University of Toronto arts grad, had been earning well but developed a gambling problem and had racked up huge debts. He admitted at trial to a year-long scam that began in August 2013 in which he prepared and submitted 28 bogus direct-deposit information forms to Canada Revenue Agency.

The agency then deposited millions of dollars in various tax rebates and refunds owed to 12 large corporations into bank accounts Plange controlled.

By the time the scam unravelled, court records show, the taxman had paid almost $42 million into those accounts but, due to bank diligence, he had only managed to withdraw $15,000. Still, because the value of the fraud exceeded $1 million, a two-year mandatory minimum sentence enacted by the Conservative government of Stephen Harper in 2011 was in play.

(Fraud is bad- fraud on such a HUGE SCALE is REALLY BAD!! What did it cost the tax payers to hubt down and arrest this FRAUD ARTIST?? LIE-berals SCORN any sort of effort to seriously DETER thieves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

In March 2018, Superior Court Justice Shaun Nakatsuru struck down the mandatory minimum as cruel and unusual punishment — although he said the minimum was not out of line for Plange’s crime.

(In other words- LIE-beral judges want the freedom to hand out the lightest sentence they can get away with and resent having their hands tied re sentencing and thus being compelled to spend gravy on lengthy jail time for thieves - and then LIE-berals wonder WHY we have so much white collar crime!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Nakatsuru, who accepted Plange was remorseful and had taken responsibility, went on to sentence him to 18 months — reduced to 13 months for time served and pre-sentence bail conditions.

(Isnt that lovely!! LIE-berals are saving gravy by letting conditions in jails get over crowded and nasty - and then using that CRAP as an EXCUSE to release thieves even sooner than previously done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

The Crown appealed on both counts. It argued the mandatory minimum was indeed valid. It also argued the sentence actually imposed on Plange was “manifestly unfit.”

The Appeal Court agreed on both counts. Nakatsuru wrongly engaged in speculation when he came up with three hypothetical situations in which the mandatory minimum could be seen as excessive, the appellate court said.

(Oh nice- LIE-beral sponsored lawyers in a circle jerk pulling at each others EXCUSES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

At the same time, the Appeal Court said, it was not its role to construct a hypothetical situation of its own. Any future attempt to overturn the mandatory minimum would need to be fully argued based on the facts at that time, the Appeal Court said.

On the sentence handed Plange, the Appeal Court found Nakatsuru had swallowed Plange’s excuses that the fraud was simple, spontaneous and a one-time aberration.

(The guy got govt to GIVE HIM $42 MILLION DOLLARS!! This THEFT was NEITHER SIMPLE NOT SPONTANEOUS!! And we CAN ONLY HOPE this was a one time aberration!! Who knows what his next idea will cost if he needs money again in future!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

“This characterization is incomplete and understates the sustained effort made by the respondent to execute the fraud,” the Appeal Court said.

(True Dat!! Getting handed $42 million like that requires a skilled and eloquent sort of BEGGING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

In a separate opinion, Justice David Doherty agreed Plange deserved a three-year sentence. However, Doherty said he would have struck down the two-year mandatory minimum given that it would, in some cases, be “grossly disproportionate.”

(I suggest that if somebody STOLE $42 million dollars from the pension plan offered to LIE-beral hug a thug judges then the outrage of entitled a sentence of SEVERAL DECADES!! It is remarkable how little concern LIE-berals have for our money - while they protect THEIR GRAVY like hungry Lions eating a Gazelle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

(The issue that is most disproportionate here is the contempt LIE-berls have FOR OUR LOSSES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
